Questions about The Secret World of Briar Rose

  • The English language edition is available through retailers throughout the world, and some websites listed above ship internationally.

    To avoid international shipping costs, the book is also available as an ebook and audiobook in the links above.

  • There will be a French edition to be announced in the future. Otherwise, additional translated versions are dependent on publishers acquiring the book. If you’d like to see the book near you, let your local bookstores and publishers know about reader interest and feel free to have them reach out to the PYR’s Rights Team at their email address.

  • The book contains themes of depression, suicidal ideation, and war, including on-page depictions of death and suicide. If these are sensitive topics for you, please take care of yourself first.

  • The book is a standalone.

  • So many ways! You can request my book at your local library, leave a review online, recommend to friends, and post about it on social media. 

Author questions

  • I would love to, but am not always available due to scheduling and logistics. Reach out to me via contact form at the bottom of this page with your proposal, and I will pass it along to my publisher for review.

  • I’ll be posting videos of my process on my YouTube channel, and you can check them out in this playlist.

  • I am currently closed to blurb and reading requests.

  • As an author, I do not read or engage with reviews for my book. However, if you tag me on social media, I’ll assume it’s an open invite to engage and join in on the fun. As a reader, I’ll continue sharing my thoughts on books I read on my Goodreads and YouTube channel.

YouTuber questions

  • I do not review books by request.

  • For brands interested in sponsoring YouTube videos, contact my manager at readwithcindy@fixated.com.

  • My recommended books are compiled in this list here.

  • Currently I use a Sony Alpha a6400 and record audio via QuickTime player on my MacBook Pro. I use iMovie for editing and Premiere Pro for color correction. The music in my intro is Chinese New Year by SALES, and the music in my outro is always credited at the bottom of the video description, though it’s typically sourced from Thematic.

  • The couch is the Kova Sofa from Albany Park, and the laptop cover is from Burga.

  • The artists in my gallery wall are Enid Din, Deb JJ Lee, Kehasuk, Nanaco Yashiro, and Stuart Dunkel. The art at the bottom left of my wall was left on the street, so I don’t know the artist. The vintage frames were thrifted. The monkey plushie is from Anna Laura Art.

I am closed for: book reviews, affiliate partnerships, and non-YouTube sponsorships.
